The pollution of the yoruba tradition

What is Yoruba tradition turning into? The other day, another Oba was rolling on the floor for JESUS. This time, we have an Emir in disguise as the Olowu of Owu Ile - a significant place in Yoruba's history. This was how we lost Ilorin to the Fulani invaders - a Yoruba city became an Islamic state because of this type of behaviour. A Jihadist cannot be a true Yoruba king, the same way a Pastor cannot sincerely be a Yoruba Oba. I won't be surprised if this guy eventually ban all indigenous religious practices in his domain, definitely, this one will not enter a Shrine or offer sacrifice. Is it by force to be an Oba?
An Alfa cannot support masquerades and if choices were to be made, this Alfa-Oba will pitch his tent with his Muslim Ummah. This is a mockery of our tradition which must be resisted. Can Olu-Awo be allowed to become Imam or Emir of Kano? I am not against any Alfa, Sheikh or Hijab wearing wives but I believe it is a mockery of our tradition and insincerity for an Alfa to be a Yoruba King. The two cannot mix.
